AI Factories aim to offer advanced computing resources and expert support to European industry and scientific communities.
These facilities will enable the development of large-scale AI models, foster the adoption of AI technologies across the EU, and contribute to building skills and expertise in the field of artificial intelligence.
Different access modes and types are available to meet the needs of users with different levels of requirements and expertise.
AI for Industrial Innovation
The AI Factories Industrial Innovation track includes three access mode, targeting different use cases and compute needs.
- Playground access, providing limited resources for entry-level users
- Fast Lane access, for users already familiar with HPC requiring up to 50,000 GPU hours
- Large Scale access, catering to AI models and applications requiring more than 50,000 GPU hours
The Industrial Innovation Access modes are open and free-of-charge to AI SMEs (including startups) for innovation purposes. Other industrial applications can benefit from pay-per-use commercial access.
AI for Science and Collaborative projects
The AI for Science and Collaborative EU projects access mode will support AI applications for science, with a focus on ethical Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and cutting-edge foundation Models and Generative AI, including Large Language Models. This mode is intended for scientific research activities that rely on AI models as part of their research workflow.
This access mode is open and free of charge to eligible public and private users, primarily for publicly funded research, as well as for industrial applications in collaborative projects which are funded by Horizon Europe or the Digital Europe Programme
